WILLIAM L. POTTER, OF CLIFTON PARK, NEW YORK.

COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,861, dated December 19, 1844.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. POTTER, o-f Clifton Park, in the countyof Saratoga and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Cooking- Stoves, which is described as follows, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings of the same, making part of thisspecification.

Figure l is a perspective view of the stove. Fig. 2 is a horizontalsection at the line :r of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a vertical transversesection at the line 0 0 of Fig. 2. Fig. l is a vertical longitudinalsection at the line l l of Fig. 3.

Similar letters in the several figures refer to corresponding parts.

This stove consists of a irerhamber A two ovens B, C,-one small and theother largethe small oven B being placed over or above the large ovenC-flues F F2 F3 F--valve D-guard IE-combined and arranged in the mannerrepresented7 or other mode substantially the same.

The invention and improvement for which a patent is solicited, consistsin forming a flue F at the rear of the small oven B, communicating withthe flue `F2 at the rear of the large oven C or directly with the smokepipe G by means of a horizontal register D opened or closed atpleasure-said flue F2 communicatingwith a horizontal Hue F3 extendingunder or beneath the large oven which flue communicates with verticalIiues F4 at the front angles of the large oven which extend upward tothe bottom of the hearth. These flues then lead into two horizontalparallel flues F5 FG at the sides of the stove immediately over thelargeoven and at the lower angles of the small oven, the top plates of saidlues forming portions of Said lues when they reach the rear angles ofthe stove, turn upward in a vertical direction as seen at F7 F8-whencethey continue to rise until they enter the space above the registerplate forming a portion of the funnel spaceat the top of the stove. Vhenthe aforesaid register plate D is closed over the apertures the smokeand heat will pass through the flues just described in the directionindicated by the arrows; but when said register plate D is drawn forwardso as to open the aper*` tures, the smoke andheat will pass directlycirculation of a portion of the smoke and Y heat between the two ovens,whichV is ad-` mitted from the fire chamber A through an oblong apertureHl in the guard plate E, placed vertically between the small oven andthe iire place. The plates forming said small oven are dispensed with oromitted in the casting of the stove whenever it is desired to increasethe size of the rechaniber- The guard plate E is made concave on theside next the small oven, in relation to which it is so placed as toleave a suficient space for the circulation of hot air which is admittedthrough the oblong aperture just named. rlhis guard plate is mademovable so that it can be removed or replaced at pleasure.

I/Vhenever the aforesaid plates composing the small oven (except theback one) and the guard plate, or back of the re chamber are removed oromitted for the purpose of increasing the capacity of the lire-chamber.A movable back v is placed in the fire-chamber, which back 7c is madeconvex on the side next the place for the fuel and concave on` theopposite side on which two shoulders s are cast for resting and slidingupon the plates forming the tops of the horizontal side iiues in thefire chamber.

The hearth is arranged in the usual manner.

A plate L to rest the feet on, or to place any article thereon, issecured to the sides of the stove by dovetail tenons, and grooves so asto be put on or removed at pleasure.

The vertical plate P is perforated with an oblong slot to form acommunication between the diving flues at the backs o-f the ovens. Andalso with another and smaller oblong aperture 79 below the one justnamed to allow the draft from the fire place under the small oven andover the large oven to pass directly to the back flue.
